Text not included in an ARIA landmark

Aloha and Happy Friday,
I'm trying to wrap my head around an error my University accessibility checker is giving me for a recent GP/GB pro build.
"Text not included in an ARIA landmark"
Hard to tell if I'm doing something wrong (like hooking elements into the wrong places, or not adding an aria-label to my Site Footer element) ... or if maybe it's more of a theme-related issue outside my control?
Any advice on where I should start to remediate this issue?
---
The site has otherwise sailed through the checker ... and all dings, since fixed, were caused by me :)
Much thanks for any insight you can offer on 'ARIA landmarks'

Hi there,
I ran a WAVE test against the site and it didn't flag anything specific.
Does your accessibility checker provide any further details on that warning ?
Aloha David,
According to the checker (Siteimprove), the biggest culprit is the custom Site Footer, which is a:
Block Element, Element type >> Site Footer
---
The other culprit is Titles falling outside the 'Main' landmark ... I'm working on that one.
Thanks!

Are you using GenerateBlocks Pro ?

I found a Chrome extension that outlines the landmarks (http://matatk.agrip.org.uk/landmarks/)
The Nav/Header gets wrapped, and so does the content.
It's the Site Footer element that seems to be un-wrapped by a landmark.
Thanks!

If you edit your Block Element Footer, and select the parent Container Block, in its sidebar settings you can select the Element Tag name:

What happens if you set that to Footer ?
It fixes the issue!! (I would never have found that) :)
Thanks a million David!!
You the best :)

PS. topic resolved :)
Glad to be of help!
